CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 12.-Tbe doors Of
+be undertaking establishment to which the
b,dies of the dead Anarchists wero taken
nfter the execution yesterday, were thrown
,aen at 6 o'clock this morning, and crowd
which mad been waiting began 10 file in.
Only the bodies OF Parsons and Fischer
,yero left TO crafty the morbid curiosity Of
the crowd, the remains Of Spies and En-
Gel having already been removed. Occas-
joually one Of the curious would uutter
something as he gazed upon the upturned
distorted faces OF the dead, but most of the
people passed on silently after single glance
at the counteuances of these much talked of
men. At $50 the doors were closed. At
that time there was big crowd outside and
il was estimated that 1900 or 5000 people
had viewed the remains. Half an hour later
the bodies we're removed 10 the residences
Of the dead Anarchists. No excitement at
tended the transfer of the remains.
GUARDING AGAINST FUNERAL RIOTS.
n looked very much this morning as if the
citv authorities would refuse TO allow the
friends Of the executed Anarchists 10 carry
cut their programme respecting the funer
ais. which were set for tomorrow. 1t was
learned that Mayor Roche, Chief of Police
Fbersold, Inspector Bonfield and Comulis-
sioner OF Public Works Swift had had Il
long conference respecting what they would
ar vyolld not allow The Chief and Mayor
we're both set against permitting crowds TO
line ths streets through which the cortege
rroposed passing. and it looked as if II
might ne decided that the burials of the
Reds would have to be made separate.
HALF MAST FLAG ORDERED DOWN.
An incident occurred this morning which
showed the temper of the law-abiding peo-
rle Of the city. Spies was member Of the
Aurora Turn Nerein. Some Socialistic
members of the organization placed the
American flag at half mast on the Aurora
Turn Halle. Ii had not been there long be-
fore the owners Of the building ordered the
flag taken down, and it was done.
II was strongly limited this morning that
the authorities of the Waldeheim Gene.
terry, the one in which it proposed 10 bury
tae "Reds,n and over their
graves erect a monument, were seriously
considering whether it was not their duty
to refuse resting place for the Anarchists
remains within their inclosure. At least
they viii not allow a monument to be
erected. Both owners of the Aurora Turn
Halle, it may be interesting to know, are
Germans.
1t was also learned that the Turn Halle
would most likely refuse to allow the body
Of Spies TO lie in state in the Halle as was
proposed.
FIsCHERs BODY TAKEN HOME.
At 10 O'Clock the casket containing the
BODY of Fischer was taken out Ii was to
he taken to the home of his wife. 1t was
quickly lifted into wagon and an oil cloth
covering spread over it. The undertaken
and his assistants mounted the box and the
wagon was driven out Milwaukee avenue,
followed by crowd of small boys, most of
the grown people staying behind IN the hope
of getting a glance at Parsons. A detail of
police just going on duty came along at the
Tine and marched after the wagon. This
created some cornmotion along the avenue,
but il died out when the police turned off at
Nohle street. The wagon, with its guard of
boys, moved on to the house of Mrs.
Fischer, just block east of Milwaukee ave
nue.. 1t is two-story frame structure and
occupied by several families. Mrs. Fischers
apartments are in the rear on the ground
floor and are entered through an arch under
the rear stairway leading from the second
story. This arch was draped with white
and black cambria. Around the house was
great crowd of women and children, evil

They were morbidly curious rather than
sympathetic, and when the wagon
Grew up in front of the house. they
oraned their necks TO see what
they could. Mrs, Fischer was at
the house of one of her neighbors when the
fCFlW CT ha1s husband o~rix-ad b1tf as
1t had been carried into the house and
properly placed she was escorted into her
cesolate home by two female friends. She
was suffering greatly and her actions were
somewhat bysterical. She stopped occa-
slonally, threw her arms about one or the
other of her friends and wept bitterly. At
o'clock the curious throng still hung about
the house.
AT SPIES HOUSE.
The doors and windows of Girls Spies
touSe, where the body of the dead Anar-
chiso lies, were barred, and would not
hs open for any one. Long strips
ct white and black crepe swung
from the door bell; at the top of tho
5ynbols Of mourning was largo
tdck rose, made also Of crepe, and from
me middle of the rose streamers of red fiut-
'ered in the breeze. From the moment the
dead body arrived at the residence of
'AuguSt brother, the house had been sur
founded by crowd OF inquisitive spectators.
lls morning the assemblage gradually in
creased in numbers, all being anxious to
get look at the face of the famous Anar-
ghlst. Nobody was Siatified. Repeated calls
az the door failed TO elicit any response.
